Wow, Angel is so helpful, hope it bounces back on him big time.  I do like how Buffy is sticking up for herself at last.

good chapter, great writing - Willow's behaviour is in character and I always like it when Tara's character is trying to help, the voice of reason. Spike's reaction to the phone call between Buffy and Angel was just right, and the connection between Buffy and Spike when he drinks her blood is warming to the heart. I like the way this story is going, so thanks again and more soon? please?

I have a bad feeling about Willow. She is going to do something and it wont end well. Oh she'll say she was doing it for Buffy's own good. But we know how well that turns out. Because as we all know Buffy is obviously too stupid to think for herself and Willow has to think for her.

Calling Angel was useless as far as getting help. If anything he will just try to mess things up. Because if Buffy is relying on a vamp that isn't him it has to be dangerous. Angel can't and won't see change in anyone but himself. He refuses to acknowledge it because that just means that he has to face up to the fact that he had to be cursed and shown a innocent little girl to change his ways and Spike did it with no help or encouragement at all. Which makes Spike the better man (vamp) and we can't have that.

Something told me Angel wouldn't be willig to help, although I'd forgotten that he would be in the middle of the Connor/Wes/Holtz drama. Time for a brilliant idea, because Buffy can't continue to feed Spike on her blood every day, she is wilting away....

Buffy has a lot to figure out. Angel was of course not willing to help, but to be fair, after Wesley took his son he should have trouble with trusting people.
